Thu, 10 Jul 2014 12:01:04 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2267842#comment-3463249You want to run at a guy that is 6’2” 274lbs, you go right ahead. He’s no undersized OLB that is a pass rushing specialist. Just think that this guy plays DE too and that is in a 3-4 alignment. He even lined up at DT for a bit. That gives you an idea of just how strong he is.

Courtney Upshaw in my mind was never going to be a guy that gets a lot of sacks. He was a rush defending DE and that’s pretty much what he has been. The sacks he would get are the ones he gobbles up from Suggs chasing the QB from the other side just like Kruger and Jarret Johnson used to do. Considering how Suggs wasn’t himself and Dumervil falling in our laps…Upshaw’s role has changed.

There is also another way of looking at it. I think the Ravens are going to do a lot more rotation on the D-line and with pass rushers to help keep the guys that are getting a bit older a bit more fresh down the line. They very well could have a few guys with high sack numbers depending on how well guys get to the QB when they are on the field. Not saying this will happen mind you.

The Ravens are a good team that did a lot of things to help themselves get better this season. AFC North is one of the toughest divisions in football and I would have it no other way.

Tue, 08 Jul 2014 18:29:27 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2267842#comment-3459869In 2011, McPhee got six sacks as a rookie defensive end. In 2012, he got hurt, missed a few games, and never really got on track. In 2013, the Ravens switched him to outside linebacker, which is a transition that doesn’t just happen overnight. So, now in 2014, there’s no telling what this young (only 25) veteran player, who’s gotten some experience as a rotational guy is going to do–could be the next Art Jones.
Ravens seem to always develop guys on defense that no one outside of Baltimore has really heard of cause they weren’t high profile draft picks, then those guys break out and end up leaving for more money elsewhere, where they fail to live up to expectations (and their contracts).
Just seems to be the Ravens way.

Because last year alone Suggs + Dumervil had 19.5 sacks. The entire NFL careers of Worlids, Moats, Carter, and Jones can account for 24.

Tue, 08 Jul 2014 18:14:50 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2267842#comment-3459841More blather coming from Ratbird land. The team has no leaders on the field and off the field they’re a complete mess.

Until the team ownership/management gets a handle on their players off the field behavior (and starts drafting people with character instead of drafting characters), the team will be in disarray.

The league is full of athletes. Winning teams have winners with character (with the notable exception being Ray Ray when he was still playing).

Yeah but they’re two of three Steelers who’ve recorded more than 3 sacks for their career.

“If Pernell McPhee is the Ravens sack leader this season then fans of every other AFC North team will be happy.” Steeler trolls continue to be hilarious. Perhaps they should focus on their own team.

Jarvis Jones, first round Steeler draft pick, 2013 sacks = 1

Pernell McPhee fifth round Ravens pick, 2013 sacks = 2

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If that is the guy leading the Ravens in sacks, then it means the team can’t find their pass rush and there have been injuries to that defense. If the Ravens can’t get pressure on quarterbacks then they won’t be able to slow down opposing offenses. If they have to rely on shooting matches, then it is going to be a long season in Baltimore. And if it is a long season in Baltimore, fans of Pittsburgh, Cincinatti, and Cleveland will be happy.

Not trolling, speaking the truth.

Tue, 08 Jul 2014 17:31:26 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2267842#comment-3459750Okay, let me get this straight. Dude’s got the amazing goal of getting 7 or 8 sacks this year. And he also wants to lead his team in sacks. So, basically, he is hoping that none of his teammates get more than 7 or 8 sacks. Good job, dude.

The last 2 seasons health and Art Jones have been his biggest issues.
IF he is healthy i’d say his # is 7.

“Deepest” OLB crew in the NFL? Why because 4 guys have 3 or more career sacks? Woah!

This kid was an absolute monster in the AFC championship game against Brady, so my guess is he can be a force to be reckoned with if he trains that way.

Just look at Kruger or Art Jones developing. I imagine McPhee is the next to make that leap along with Kapron
